Branded retail packs
Consistent artwork across product lines.
Packaging
Printed Reel Stock
Printed reel stock turns packaging film into a brand asset: consistent artwork, accurate registration and a film that runs well.
Product overview
Printed Reel Stock: what it is and why it matters.
Printed reel stock is packaging film that arrives on a reel with artwork already applied, ready to run on form-fill-seal, flow-wrap or similar machines. It carries branding, product information and any regulatory content directly on the pack.
Good results depend on the artwork, the print process, the film and the machine working together. Registration marks, unwind direction and reel dimensions are all specified up front so the reel runs cleanly.
